Full textAbstract:
Online searchers in Australia were studied through six sets
of variables: backgrounds, experience, attitudes, behaviours,
styles and satisfaction. A mailed questionnaire attracted a
response rate of 84.5 per cent.
Respondents were drawn equally from academic and special
libraries. Those in special libraries tended to be more
satisfied with their searches, and favoured adaptability but
not preplanning. Those whose organisations levied charges
appeared to search less often and to have less faith in
controlled vocabularies. A minority with computational
backgrounds tended to have more searching experience.
Many respondents searched infrequently and had conducted low
total numbers of searches. Those searching more often were
less cost conscious, and more in favour of trial-and-error
and reviewing retrieved titles. Searchers who had conducted
more searches favoured trial-and-error , browsing and
reviewing retrieved titles.
Controlled vocabularies, adaptability (related to a
disinclination to review retrieved titles), trial-and-error
and browsing were favoured . Fidel's conceptualist style
tended to be adopted by those favouring trial-and-error. Her
operationalist style was considered routine and positively
related to perceived user satisfaction with searches. Some
concern about cost was related to a tendency to plan
alternative strategies.

Solomon, Ryan. "In Search of Copia: Using Rhetoric to Teach Creative Writing." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2007. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/1011.
Full textAbstract:
James Berlin, in his book Rhetoric and Reality, points out that our disparate epistemologies lead to inevitable classroom practices, which mean that different epistemologies impact our pedagogical approach and enforce certain views about the role and function of writing in classrooms. This thesis highlights the impact of Romantic beliefs about writing on creative writing pedagogy, as well as exploring how those beliefs hamper the critical function of the workshop. Romantic beliefs have enforced the idea that talent and genius is most important in creative writing, and that writing is spontaneous, organic, original, and expressive. Because of this, many creative writing teachers have come to believe that a structured pedagogical approach hampers creative writing, but this creates problems in workshop where the need for collaborative criticism conflicts with Romantic beliefs. The result is that students, who are assumed to know how to offer effective criticism, struggle to negotiate expressive ideals as opposed to critical response. This thesis therefore explores the problems of Romantic beliefs in detail. This thesis proposes the classical rhetorical curriculum, supported by appropriate rhetorical theory, as a solution to the problems created by Romantic beliefs. This curriculum provides a detailed, structured approach to teaching writing, which is best highlighted by the way it combined stylistic analysis together with production; therefore, helping students use criticism as a way to develop their writing. In doing so, I look at a rhetorical approach to style as detailed by Richard Lanham and Winston Weathers who emphasize helping students with stylistic analysis by helping students understand the function of style. Also, because I recognize that creative writers are often resistant to any discussion of the links between creative writing and rhetoric, this thesis emphasizes the critical links between creative writing and rhetoric, thereby showing that the view of rhetoric held by creative writers is a substantially reduced view of a more dynamic discipline. The truth is the two disciplines share a fundamental critical purpose aimed at assisting student in the production of new texts, and therefore, because the two disciplines have a great deal in common, there is a viable opportunity to build on their theoretical links in order to enhance pedagogy in both disciplines. Therefore, this thesis looks at some specific ways that the classical rhetorical curriculum can be applied within the constraints of the contemporary creative writing classroom.

Full textAbstract:
Eye movement on a web page is determined by the layout of the page presented to the user (Nielsen, 2006; Shrestha et al., 2007, 2008). A typical search engine results page layout suffers from a hierarchical bias with higher fixations on the top and lower fixations on the bottom areas of interest (Granka et al., 2004; Joachims et al., 2005; Dumais et al., 2010; Curtell et al., 2007; Guan et al., 2007). This study compared the usability and eye movement data of participants searching a traditional SERP layout and two alternative layouts, grid and tabular. Results showed that while participants indicated a higher preference for the traditional layout, no differences in success, satisfaction, mental workload, or perceived difficulty were found across the 3 layouts for either informational or navigational tasks. Participants were found to look at the page more times and for longer when completing informational tasks compared to navigational tasks regardless of the layout presented to them. Participants looked at the top portion of the page more than the bottom when presented with the traditional or the tabular layout in both the task conditions. For the informational task condition, the top portion of the page was viewed for longer and for the navigational task condition, the bottom portion of the page was view for longer for both the traditional and the tabular layouts. When presented with the grid layout, participants were found to view the content vertically by column starting on the left column, then to the right: the left column was viewed more than the right column but the right column was viewed for longer than the left column regardless of the task condition. Moreover, it was found that participants fixated on the right column of the grid layout more than twice as much as they fixated on the bottom portion of the traditional layout. Compared to the bottom portion of the tabular layout, participants fixated 50% more on the right column of the grid layout. This, along with its scroll-less interface, shows the advantage of the grid layout over both the traditional and the tabular layouts. In terms of layout preference, participants equally preferred the traditional and the grid layout. It was found that the tabular layout was the easiest for the participants to parse out what element of the search results they wanted to fixate to effectively complete the given task: this meant that participants could fixate on the title and the text snippet portion of the search result and ignore the URL portion while completing informational tasks and in the same manner participants could fixate on the URL and the title and ignore the text snippet more effectively than on the traditional or the grid layouts when completing navigational tasks. This shows the advantage of the tabular layout when the user is interested in a specific type of information. The advantage of the uniqueness of their layouts may have potential with their application in proper contexts.Thesis (Ph.D.)--Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Dept. of Psychology

Full textAbstract:
La question de la langue est cruciale pour les écrivains francophones. Elle se pose nécessairement à l'homme de lettres, plus encore à l'écrivain francophone de plusieurs langues. Ainsi que l'affirme à juste titre R. BARTHES est " écrivain celui pour qui le langage fait problème, qui en éprouve la profondeur, non l'instrumentalité ou la beauté ". Certes, écrire en français condamnait, à l'origine, les écrivains francophones à être lus surtout par les Français de France. Le dilemme était donc celui-ci : être entendu ou ne pas l'être. Les romanciers gabonais tels L. OWONDO et A. MOUSSIROU-MOUYAMA se sont approprié la langue française ; la langue de l'Autre ( l'ancien colonisateur ). Dans une certaine mesure ils sont parvenus selon l'ambition de L. T. SONY à "tropicaliser", mieux à "gaboniser" la langue française, à l'utiliser comme matière première pour écrire la parole traditionnelle et dire les réalités locales. Enfin la littérature gabonaise souvent survolée, voire absente des anthologies de littérature africaine est désormais pleine de promesse. C'est cet optimisme qui transparaît dans ces propos de A. MOUSSIROU-MOUYAMA : " La vitalité de la littérature gabonaise, observable avec les dernières publications et l'engouement récent pour le théâtre ( en français également ) viennent — à titre d'hypothèse — d'une certaine appropriation de la langue française qui dit la différence d'écrire et la nécessité de dire sans trahir ". Cette vitalité de la littérature gabonaise s'explique en grande partie par une nouvelle conception ou pratique du langage qu'ont les romanciers, L. OWONDO et A. MOUSSIROU-MOUYAMA contrairement aux précédents romanciers. En effet, avant eux les romanciers tels A. RAWIRI et R. ZOTOUMBAT concevaient le langage comme uniquement un moyen de communication qui ne sert qu'à nommer les objets du réel et non à symboliser. Du coup la dimension poétique, symbolique et esthétique du langage est mise en veilleuse. Or une oeuvre littéraire s'évaluant par sa littérarité ne saurait se borner à la représentation du réel cru. L'écrivain gabonais doit par conséquent ruser avec le réelThe problem of language is crucial for francophon writers, above all, when they speak many languages. As says R. BARTHES : " The real writer is the one for who the language is problematic, one who experiences is depth, and who does not treat it as a simple instrument ". Few years ago, writing in french forced the francophon writers to be ridden only by french people. The dilemma was that : to be or not to be understood. The gabonese writers, like L. OWONDO and A. MOUSSIROU-MOUYAMA, appropriate themselves french language, the language of the old colonizer. We can say that they succeeded, as said LABOU TANSI SONY, to " tropicalize " it, more, to " gabonize " the french language to use it as a raw material to write the traditionnal speaking and exprimate the local realities. Today, the gabonese literature that was absent in african literary anthologies, is now full of promises. It is this optimism that appear through these words of A. MOUSSIROU-MOUYAMA : " The vitality of gabonese literature, visible through the last publications and the recent infatuation for the theatre (also in french), come from a form of appropriation of the french language ". That says the difference of writing and the necessity to say without betraying. That vitality of the gabonese literature, explains oneself by a new kind in the practise of language, in opposition with the first writers. Quite so, before the modern writers, the others like A. RAWIRI, R. ZOTOUMBA, took the language only as a simple mean of communication, used to name things of the reality and not to symbolize those. In consequence, the poetic, symbolis and aesthetics dimension of the language was absolutly disqualified. So the modern gabonese writers must craft with the reality

Full textAbstract:
In this research, we present our computational model which performs four part harmonisation in the style of J.S. Bach. Harmonising Bach chorales is a hard AI problem, comparable to natural language understanding. In our approach, we explore the issue of gaining control in an explicit way for the chorale harmonisation tasks. Generally, the control over the search space may be from both domain dependent and domain independent control knowledge. Our explicit control emphasises domain dependent control knowledge. The control gained from domain dependent control enables us to map a clearer relationship between the control applied and its effects. Two examples of domain dependent control are a plan of tasks to be done and heuristics stating properties of the domain. Examples of domain independent control are notions such as temperature values in an annealing method; mutation rates in Genetic Algorithms; and weights in Artificial Neural Networks. The appeal of the knowledge based approach lies in the accessibility to the control if required. Our system exploits this concept extensively. Control is explicitly expressed by weaving different atomic definitions (i.e. the rules, tests and measures) together with appropriate control primitives. Each expression constructed is called a control definition, which is hierarchical by nature. One drawback of the knowledge based approach is that, as the system grows bigger, the exploitation of the new added knowledge grows exponentially. This leads to an intractable search space. To reduce this intractability problem, we partially search the search space at the meta-level. This meta-level architecture reduces the complexity in the search space by exploiting search at the meta-level which has a smaller search space. The experiment shows that an explicitly structured control offers a greater flexibility in controlling the search space as it allows the control definitions to be manipulated and modified with great flexibility. This is a crucial element in performing partial search over a big search space. As the control is allowed to be examined, the system also potentially supports elaborate explanations of the system activities and reflections at the meta-level.

Full textAbstract:
Le langage poétique est articulé en séries discrètes selon une combinatoire complexe, que Lorand Gaspar rappelle dans ses essais pour invalider la conception traditionnelle du poème, de ses contours à sa réception. Cette discontinuité implique chez lui une décomposition graphique originale du poème, qu'approfondit notre étude des blancs poétiques, de la typographie, et de la (dé)ponctuation dans une première partie, puis dans les deux dernières, une analyse des autres division de la parole poétique : au niveau du mot, du phonème, de la syntaxe nominale, du rythme, des répétitions lexicales, et des images. Chez Lorand Gaspar, l'espace di poème est déstructuré, et la polysémie met davantage en valeur le signifiant, précisément en exploitant la polyphonie, l'indéterminé, et le fragmentaire, ce qui remet encore en cause notre perception du réel, et justifie une esthétique à la fois de l'effraction et de la (re)présentation. Évitant tout dualisme réducteur (la discontinuité assimilée à la non-continuité), cette étude stylistique tente de mieux comprendre la contradiction entre une poésie fragmentaire et une poétique qui postule au contraire la continuité du sujet avec "le texte de la vie"The poetic language is articulated into separate series, according to a complex combination that Lorand Gaspar uses in his works to redefine the traditional conception of poetry, from its outlines to its reception. To him, this discontinuity entails an original and graphic breakup of the poem, that is analysed further in the first part about the poetic blanks, typography, and punctuation, then again in the subsequent parts about the different divisions in the poetic speech : words, phonemes, verbless syntax, rhythm, repetitions of vocabulary or images. In Lorand Gaspar's works, the poetic space in shattered, and the polysemy emphasizes the signifier, especially when it takes advantage of polyphony, indetermination, fragmentation. . . All that once again calls into question our perception of rality, and builds aesthetics of dislocation and presentation. Avoiding any dualism and prejudice (discontinuity is not non-continuity), this stylistic study tries to further explore the paradox between a poetry of fragmentation, and poetics that conversely exposes the continuity of the subject with the "text of existence"

Full textAbstract:
Techniques that can effectively identify authors of texts are of great importance in scenarios such as detecting plagiarism, and identifying a source of information. A range of attribution approaches has been proposed in recent years, but none of these are particularly satisfactory; some of them are ad hoc and most have defects in terms of scalability, effectiveness, and computational cost. Good test collections are critical for evaluation of authorship attribution (AA) techniques. However, there are no standard benchmarks available in this area; it is almost always the case that researchers have their own test collections. Furthermore, collections that have been explored in AA are usually small, and thus whether the existing approaches are reliable or scalable is unclear. We develop several AA collections that are substantially larger than those in literature; machine learning methods are used to establish the value of using such corpora in AA. The results, also used as baseline results in this thesis, show that the developed text collections can be used as standard benchmarks, and are able to clearly distinguish between different approaches. One of the major contributions is that we propose use of the Kullback-Leibler divergence, a measure of how different two distributions are, to identify authors based on elements of writing style. The results show that our approach is at least as effective as, if not always better than, the best existing attribution methods-that is, support vector machines-for two-class AA, and is superior for multi-class AA. Moreover our proposed method has much lower computational cost and is cheaper to train. Style markers are the key elements of style analysis. We explore several approaches to tokenising documents to extract style markers, examining which marker type works the best. We also propose three systems that boost the AA performance by combining evidence from various marker types, motivated from the observation that there is no one type of marker that can satisfy all AA scenarios. To address the scalability of AA, we propose the novel task of authorship search (AS), inspired by document search and intended for large document collections. Our results show that AS is reasonably effective to find documents by a particular author, even within a collection consisting of half a million documents. Beyond search, we also propose the AS-based method to identify authorship. Our method is substantially more scalable than any method published in prior AA research, in terms of the collection size and the number of candidate authors; the discrimination is scaled up to several hundred authors.

L'analyse s'inscrit dans le cadre d'une problématique qui particularise et spécifie l'écriture de la parole afin de comprendre commant l'écrivain ivoirien assume sa double appartenance linguistique et culturelle. La satire est articulée comme une modalité intrinsèque dans la pentalogie romanesque de Kourouma. Il s'est agi d'étudier les stratégies discursives que soulève tout engagement satirique. La communication satirique s'est donc voulue triangulaire entre le satiriste, la cible et le destinataire. Lire le satirique a aussi constitué à saisir comment Kourouma s'est joué du texte oral et de la tradition africaine pour poser un regard caustique sur la politique, le social et la religion en Afrique. La satire se masque et se renforce par le conte, l'épopée, le chant et le proverbe qui sont par excellence des genres oraux et donnent cette possibilité à l'écrivain d'avoir une pensée littéraire selon sa fantaisie satirique. L'écriture et la parole satiriques traduisent donc, dans le quinaire romanesque de Kourouma, une injonction d'écouter et de lireThe analysis on the scope of problems which particularize and specify the writing of the word in order to understand how the writer from Ivory Coast assumes his dual cultural and linguistic membership. Satire is articulated as an intrinsic method in the romantic pentalogy of Kourouma. Our analysis allowed us to do the studying of the discursive stategies which any satirical engagement raises. The satirical communication thus wanted to be triangular between the satirist, the target and the recipient. Analysing the satirist method also consisted in seizing how Kourouma used the oral text and the African tradition in order to have a caustic glance on politics, society and religion in Africa. The satire is masked and reinforced by the tale, epic, the song and the proverb which are the best oral kinds which the writer the possibility to have a literary thought according to his satirical imagination. By using the professionals of the oral communication in Africa, Kourouma off-sets the African literature to an auditory aspect that gives birth to a dramatic dimension suitable with the proximity of listening. The writing and the word satirists thus translate, in the quinary romantic one of the Kourouma's injunction to listen and read

Full textAbstract:
La recherche porte sur une catégorie discursive transverse à divers genres, "l'autographie". Le corpus est constitué de trois oeuvres de Rousseau : les Confessions, les Dialogues, les Rêveries. La perspective adoptée est celle de l'analyse du discours, qui s'efforce d'articuler construction du sujet, fonctionnements textuels et institutionnels. Pour "exister" dans la communauté discursive des philosophes dont il est tout à la fois membre à part entière et dissident, Rousseau procède à une mise en scène de soi discursive où gestes et textes sont indissociables. C'est en construisant des scènes d'énonciation originales que Rousseau atteint cet objectif. L'étude se développe en trois étapes. Les approches de l’« autobiographie » littéraire et des « ego-documents » sociologiques sont d’abord présentées et évaluées. On s’intéresse ensuite à la démarche de Rousseau, pour montrer comment se construit discursivement son positionnement dans la communauté de la Nouvelle République des Lettres, à travers des scénographies qui inscrivent ses œuvres dans l’interdiscours et dessinent un ethos paratopique. Les marques linguistiques de l’énonciation d’un je multiple, les modalités de prise en charge de sa propre parole et de celle d’autrui, les actes illocutoires indirects sont examinés. Ainsi s’élabore une figure hors norme, celle d’un réprouvé, victime d’un malentendu général. Enfin, la dernière partie montre comment, loin de dévoiler la personne, les autographies de Rousseau, à travers la « « captation » du genre de la Vie de philosophe et le recours systématique au paradoxe, s’y refusent. Plus que le lieu d’une quelconque expression de soi, ces autographies aspirent à être entendues comme des « discours constituants »This research bears on a discursive category that goes across various genres : “autography”. The corpus consists of three works by Rousseau : Confessions, Dialogues, Rêveries. The viewpoint adopted is that of discourse analysis, which endeavours to articulate the building up of the Subject, and the ways texts and institutions operate. In order to”exist” in the discursive community of philosophers which he belongs to totally and at the same time dissents from, Rousseau discursively sets himself on stage, where gestures and texts cannot be dissociated. By building up original enunciation scenes, Rousseau reaches this aim. The study unfolds in three stages. The approaches to literary “autobiography” and to sociological “egodocuments” are first presented and evaluated. Then our attention focuses on Rousseau’s proceeding to build up in the community of the New Republic of Letters by way of scenographies which make his works belong to interdiscourse and draw a paratopical ethos. The linguistic marks of the enunciation to a multifaceted I, the way he assumes his own speech and that of the others’, the indirect illocutionary acts are examined. Thus there gradually rises an unconventional character, that of an outcast, who is the victim of a general misunderstanding. Finally, the last part shows how, far from unveiling his person, Rousseau’s autographies, through the “capture” of the genre of Live of the philosophers, and the systematic resort to paradox, refuse to do it. More than the convenient place for any self-expression, these autographies must be heard as “self-constituting discourses”

Full textAbstract:
Dans son désir de contrecarrer l'absurde de la vie, Camus a constamment cherché le chemin de la délivrance dans la nature belle et indifférente d'une part, et dans le silence d'une autre part. Ces deux entités lui ont été léguées; le silence par son entourage, et la nature se trouvait tout simplement à la portée de sa vie. Pour faciliter ce rapprochement entre l'homme, la nature et le silence, Camus aura constamment recours à un style issu tout d'abord de ce silence. En effet, ce silence a façonné le style camusien en lui donnant concision, précision et intensité. Ce style camusien sera aussi lyrique et poétique; Camus utilisera avec abondance les figures de stylistique et de poétique mettant en relief des transferts intra factoriels et inter factoriels basés sur des personnifications, métaphores, correspondances synesthésiques, allitérations. Ces images capables de rendre l'homme minéral et la nature humaine contribueront pleinement à accomplir la communion entre l'homme et la nature afin de rendre l'existence plus facile à vivre et la mort plus facile à accepterIn his desire to thwart the absurd of life, Camus constantly looked for the road to freedom in the beautiful and indifferent nature and in the silence. These two entities were bequeathed to him; the silence by its circle of acquaintances and the nature was simply there at his life's reach. To facilitate this link between man, nature and silence, Camus will constantly appeal to a style stemming, first of all, of this silence. Indeed, this silence shaped the camusien style by giving it conciseness, precision and intensity. The camusien style is also lyric and poetic; Camus uses with abundance the figures of stylistics and poetics accentuating intra-factorial and inter-factorial transfers based on personifications, metaphors, correspondences, alliterations and so on. These images are capable of allowing man to become mineral and nature human, thus these images will contribute in creating a communion between man and nature. This will lead man to enjoy life and accept death at the same time

This study found a relationship between the Search and Cancellation of Ascending Numbers (SCAN), Digit Span, and Visual Search and Attention Test (VSAT). Data suggest the measures represent a common construct interpreted to be attention. An auditory distracter condition of the SCAN did not distract participants, while the measure exhibited ample alternate forms reliability. The study also found that the Test of Attentional and Interpersonal Style (TAIS) short form poorly predicted performance on the Digit Span, VSAT, and SCAN. Although the TAIS exhibited good internal consistency, the items likely measure the subjective perception of attention. Furthermore, discriminant and convergent validity of the TAIS were found to be poor.

Two of them concern first-time buyers’ behavior and the third one aims to answer if any possible explanations to their behavior could be identified. The study is based on theories within the research field of consumer behavior regarding purchase behavior, the consumer decision process, decision making style, involvement and knowledge along with uncertainty. In order to answer the purpose and the associated research questions, data was collected with a qualitative approach through semi structured interviews. The empirical data was analyzed by a thematic analysis, derived from a model based on the theoretical framework. The results of the study indicate that first-time buyers do not consider their internal information search adequate, and therefore search for further information externally. Their external information search tends to involve several sources. The sources credibility seems to be based on previous experiences from other situations. How they evaluate alternatives also seems to be influenced by previous use of cut-offs and decision rules, to simplify their decision making. Further the results argue that the stages search for information and evaluation of alternatives is rather integrated and iterative than detached. However, it appears that the decision-making style of first-time buyers of high involvement products differ in their degree of involvement, levels of knowledge and experienced uncertainty. Both the complex and the dissonance reducing buying behavior is occurring in first-time buyers of high involvement products. Additionally, the results indicate that tendencies of both a complex and dissonance reducing buying behavior could be identified in one individual.This study is written in Swedish.Syftet med den här studien är att skapa en förståelse för förstagångsköpare av högengagemangsprodukter genom att undersöka hur de söker information och utvärderar alternativ. Tre forskningsfrågor formulerades utifrån studiens syfte, varav två rör förstagångsköpares beteende och den tredje ämnar ge svar på eventuella förklaringar till deras agerande. Studien utgår från teorier inom forskningsfältet för konsumentbeteende som berör köpbeteende, köpbeslutsprocessen, beslutsfattarstil, engagemang samt kunskap och osäkerhet. Med ett kvalitativt angreppssätt samlades data in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer för att ge svar på syftet med tillhörande forskningsfrågor. En modell togs fram baserat på den teoretiska referensramen som sedan låg till grund för en tematisk analys av empirin. Studiens resultat visar att förstagångsköpares interna informationssökning inte är tillräcklig vid högengagemangsköp, vilket resulterar i att ytterligare information söks externt. I den externa sökningen tenderar de att söka information från flera källor. Källornas trovärdighet verkar bedömas utifrån deras tidigare erfarenheter från andra sammanhang. Även utvärderingen influeras av tidigare tillämpning av brytpunkter och beslutsregler som underlättar beslutsfattandet. Det framgår också att stadierna informationssökning och utvärdering av alternativ snarare sker integrerat, i en iterativ process, än var för sig. Studiens resultat bekräftar att beslutsfattarstil, engagemang samt kunskaps- och osäkerhetsnivå influerar informationssöknings- och utvärderingsprocessen hos förstagångsköpare av högengagemangsprodukter. Däremot framgår det att förstagångsköpare av högengagemangsprodukter har olika beslutsfattarstil, grad av engagemang samt besitter olika nivåer av kunskap och upplever varierad grad av osäkerhet. Både ett komplext och dissonansreducerande köpbeteende förekommer hos förstagångsköpare av högengagemangsprodukter. Dessutom visar resultatet att det kan identifieras tendenser som tyder på både ett komplext och dissonansreducerande köpbeteende hos en och samma individ. Studien är skriven på svenska.

La série adjectivale est une structure bien connue des lecteurs de Proust. La Recherche comprend plus de trois mille séries adjectivales ; elles combinent deux, trois, jusqu’à dix-sept adjectifs. Les variations sémantiques et syntaxiques sont nombreuses entre les séries. Devons-nous parler de série adjectivale ou de séries, au pluriel ? Quel point commun ont toutes ces séries entre elles ? Peut-on dire que la série adjectivale est une figure de style ?Notre but sera de montrer comment s’articulent ces deux phénomènes stylistiques qui font de la série adjectivale une microstructure complexe : l’effet artiste et le fait de vision. Notre thèse consiste à démontrer que la série adjectivale est un phénomène stylistique, un fait qui ne peut se comprendre qu’en analysant le fonctionnement cognitif d’une vision du monde. Dans une première partie nous analysons la série adjectivale comme un fait de langue, une syntaxe complexe ; dans une seconde partie, nous étudions les effets stylistiques produits par la série adjectivale ; puis nous démontrons que le fait syntaxique est l’expression d’un rapport phénoménologique entre le narrateur et le monde qui l’entoureAdjectival series are a well-known by Proust’s readers. We find more than three thousand adjectival series in In Search of the Lost time ; some combine two, three, four adjectives, until seveteen adjectives ; we notice semantical variations and syntactical differences. Should we speak about adjectival series or serie ? What do these series have in common ? Is the adjectival series a stylistic figure ? We want to prove that the adjectival serie is part of these two both stylistics phenomenons which are artistical writting effects and vision of the world. We analyse this stylistic fact according to psychomecanical linguistic, as the expression of an original way to feel. In the first part of research we will show that the adjectival serie is a complex syntactic fact ; in the second part we analyse the adjectival serie as a stylistic effect ; then, we demonstrate that the syntactic fact express a phenomenological link between the narrator and the world

The coming age of the Internet has changed people’s habits and surfing the Internet has often become a behavior pattern, especially the” image search.” Searching images on the internet is close related with every aspect of working, learning, living, leisure time and education. Picture is an integrated property which any idea can be expressed in just a piece of image. The information of image can easily cross the barriers of languages and even an illiterate person would bring about feeling and knowing while watching an image. However, as the varieties of searching result and multiple applications in search engine, human in search process of information has also been a significant change. This study will get in touch with the thinking style to the effect of the image searching strategy and searching behavior; then, to understand that whether the knowledge background has related to searching strategy and searching behavior. In this study, we use examination of questionnaire about thinking styles to pick up four kinds of students in single, high thinking styles among eight classes of high grade in elementary school, a total of 68, to carry out experimental analysis. By using the learning list of picture-searching mission, we could understand examinees’ searching strategy; meanwhile, filming them when they surf the Internet in order to record their behavior. As a result, it is possible that their behavior will be drawn as an navigation flow map. Finally, the results showed that students with different style in “Searched number of objects” have tremendous difference between them. The searching strategy in “Searched number of objects” , “keywords number” and “the Keywords’ greatest extended matter” is also associated with “Maximum depth of exploration” , “Number ofkeywords” , “the number of webpage visited”, and “the number of webpage searched” in searching behaviors. The study also found that the knowledge background is closely connected with searching methods’ “numbers of searched targets” ,“the number of keywords selected” and “keywords number” “the number of webpage visited” ,“average word of keywords” and “the number of webpage searched” in searching behaviors.

As digital processing capacity of Internet rapidly increasing, various image related resources have become popular and are widely seen. One of the possible future application domains is information search. The current information search on the Internet largely relies on “keyword”queries based on users’ memory cues. However, this approach often confronts problems especially in the vague information situations. Using images for search has thus prompted to be a promising way to solve such problem. From literatures, people tended to use “features” based on their stored mental images as the query cue to search image information. Accordingly, an interface prototype of icon-based image search was developed to measure its effect in different vague levels (precise, vague-memory, vague-conditional) of information search. In an online shopping experimental environment, subjects of the control group used “keyword” query interface to complete the searching tasks, while subjects of the experiment groupused the “iconic” query interface to “add and subtract” iconsto filter the information searching results. In addition, subjects’cognitive styles were put into consideration as well. According to the experiment results, contracting to the verbalists, the “iconic” query interface highly impacted the imagers’ performances;in the precise searching task, the group ofthe “iconic” query interface significantly outperformed the group of the “keyword” query interface; in the vague-memory searching task, the effects of different interface modes on subjects’performances were no different; in the vague-conditional searching task, subjects took less time and had higher satisfaction by using the “iconic” query interface than by using the “keyword” query interface. In conclusion, the “iconic” query interface might increase subjects’performances in the vague searching problems and was praised for the advantage of direct manipulation, which provided a better experience by the facilitation of images.

Specific speciality of user will influence intrinsic the search for the system in three-dimensional space – it is the search of the behavior and course of Google Earth. From the searching factor that will cause influence numerously, the researcher observes students' searching course, develop that thinking style and sense of direction are the most outward determinant which influence their searching. And through analysing students’ searching course, sum up some characteristics as follows: Thinking style belongs to overall students, they like occupying a commanding position and begin completely searching. For detailed thinking style students, they like to explore the information of the space carefully in the low height, and searching in the carpet type. Students with good sense of direction, they could search accurately and fast. For students with bad sense of direction, their searching is slow and maybe can't find the target. So this research is based on thinking style and sense of direction to treat of the influence for three-dimensional space. This research adopts the law of relevant research, and specimen is the sixth grade primary school pupils (N= 250). Follow Google Earth as three-dimensional space search in guide environment, all students’ thinking style and sense of direction amount form to go on respectively. To find out the difference situation of the specific speciality, and do the test of searching task. In order to understand students’ different specialities, develop the searches difference and influence of the course after searching test. Researcher find single high detailed students search high score of causing. For those with high sense of direction students also get high score for searching. Thinking style groups and sense of direction are apparent reciprocation. Except experimental result offers and develops three-dimensional space to search systematic reference, advise the teachers to use the environment of the campus and map materials to strengthen the training of students’ sense of direction too, cooperate with students' thinking style type. In a progressive way to offer suitable teaching and feedback for the students, and promote the study of direction sense and geographical environment knowledge or other disciplines knowledge.

The combination of dull books and fictitious situation can have the result of promoting learning motivation and improving ability. In the process of their learning situation, teacher acts as a guide or assistant to let each student expresse ideas and questions about the learning content, and then summarize the key points. This process is called "anchoring behavior". The operation software used in this thesis is the "Google Earth System", and adding references with different characteristics on this system is called the "anchoring behavior on the three-dimensional space search system". In order to discuss the influence of individual differences in using "anchoring behavior", this thesis uses the practice of "correlational studies". First, the students are classified based on their apparent thinking style by using the "Thinking Style Survey" which breaks down thinking patterns into legislative, executive and judicial types. Then the thesis uses the spatial relationship and abstract reasoning examination score of the "Multi-Factors Aptitude Test" to rank their "spatial ability". In the experimental process, this thesis uses the "Combination Mission of Article and Map" on the Google earth system first, in order to observe the students and divide the anchoring patterns into the direct, the indirect, the geography, the historicity and the challenge reference patterns. Then the thesis carries on by using the "Search Mission". So that teachers can obsever how students use the anchoring points. The result showed that thinking style and spatial ability influenced the anchoring behavior on the three-dimensional space system. The students were the legislative type who like to explore and ones who were good at geography have high spatial ability mostly like to anchor. But the executive type used to obeying rules especially like using hypothetical references to search. The ones with high spatial ability like to rotate the Earth to search for the goal. Finally this thesis discovered the more times that a hypothetical anchor was used, the better the search achievement would be. The result expresses the importance of anchoring to learning. People changed their presentation styles to include maps with the text. Learners can understand more quickly the textual content of an article by using images of maps. In this way, the learner can understand the meaning and value of information more quickly,and the teacher can more quickly see results from their teaching.

Full textAbstract:
While there are powerful keyword search systems that index all kinds of resources
including emails and web pages, people have trouble recalling semantic facts such as
the name, location, edit dates and keywords that uniquely identifies resources in their
personal repositories. Reusing information exasperates this problem. A rarely used
approach is to leverage episodic memory of file provenance. Provenance is
traditionally defined as "the history of ownership of a valued object". In terms of
documents, we consider not only the ownership, but also the operations performed on
the document, especially those that related it to other people, events, or resources. This
thesis investigates the potential advantages of using provenance data in desktop
search, and consists of two manuscripts. First, a numerical analysis using field data
from a longitudinal study shows that provenance information can effectively be used
to identify files and resources in realistic repositories. We introduce the Leyline, the
first provenance-based search system that supports dynamic relations between files
and resources such as copy/paste, save as, file rename. The Leyline allows users to
search by drawing search queries as graphs in a sketchpad. The Leyline overlays
provenance information that may help users identify targets or explore information
flow. A limited controlled experiment showed that this approach is feasible in terms of
time and effort. Second, we explore the design of the Leyline, compare it to previous provenance-based desktop search systems, including their underlying assumptions and
focus, search coverage and flexibility, and features and limitations.Graduation date: 2012

With a rapidly increasing use of the Internet, there is a large amount of digital image information; more and more picture information is applied to the commercial website. How to retrieve the digital image in database efficiently has been an significant issue. Besides described by words, pictures of clothes products are often attached. Traditionally, we tag each image with several keywords, so that users can search keywords to find products. However, the keywords may contain no clue of what they are looking for. Clothes products often contain many characteristics which are hard to describe in regular keywords, such as texture, shape, or any other subtle details. To tackle this issue, we develop the image-based visual clothing search system, which enables users to retrieve clothing images. In this work we provide the visual search with shape using the "Shape Context" to be the shape descriptor and provide a method from text-retrieval technology to increase accuracy so that one can search for similar shapes of clothes efficiently. We develop the system with two steps. First, appropriate feature description from clothes image is extracted . Second, retrieval strategies of clothes image in database is built. And, we experiment on an image database with several kinds of clothes type, and the experiment shows that our approach is more helpful for ranking clothes product by shape and style.

Abstract The Study sought to investigate the effects of cognitive style (field dependent and field independent) and web search experience on the World Wide Web (WWW) search performance of Sixty primary school students( n=60). It also attempted to find user factors that could be used to predict search efficiency and search strategy. Super Capture 5.50 was used to capture user’s navigation decisions. These decisions might involve either browser tools or embedded links provided within the Web content viewed. The search tasks required were carried out on a primary school Web site, and include factual task and several topic search tasks to the participant. Results indicated that while cognitive style (FD/FI) significantly influenced the search performance of web searchers, the influence greatly reduced in those searchers who had web search experience on the World Wide Web. Based on the findings, suggestions for possible changes to the design of the current Web interface and to user training programs are provided. Keywords：Cognitive style, Web search experience, Web search strategy, Information seeking behavior

This study investigated the effects of 68 nine-grade Teenagers' cognitive style and task type on web information search performance and strategies. Search performance was assessed in two dependent variables：search effectiveness and efficiency. It also attempted to propose the quantitive measure of disorientation according to web search behavior and the bias of search goal. Results indicated that there was interaction effect on web browsing strategies between searchers’cognitive style and task type. Field independent searchers’ browsing strategies in ill-structure fact-finding task was significant more than the other two task type. And field independent searchers were significant higher effectiveness and lower disorientation than field dependent ones. Besides, in fact-finding tasks the subjects’ search effectiveness were significant higher and their web disorientation were also lower than open task. And there was the most high seach efficiency in well-structure problems. However, users’ frequency of using analysis search strategies in ill-structure fact-finding task and open task were also in significant level. Based on the findings, it could get forward the understanding of teenagers’ information search and information problem-solving skills, and be reference to possible changes of future information literacy training programs.

It has been more than 30 years since increasing number of female foreigners, mostly from southeast Asia, have migrated to Taiwan through marriage. They are usu-ally coined as “new female immigrants”. Their number has reached more than 400,000, and their significant presence has influenced the consumer market in Taiwan. For ex-ample, restaurants and food stands that offer Thai foods, Vietnam rice noodles (Pho Vietnam), garments with southeast styles, and many daily necessities have already be-come indispensable in Taiwanese culture. This study aims to understand how lifestyles and information searching of New Female Immigrants influence their purchasing behaviors by investigating the relation-ships between the three factors. Questionnaire survey procedure is adopted in this study to New Female Immi-grants residing in Zhanghua County on their purchasing behaviors on garments, life-styles, information searching, and demographic statistics. Data gathered from questionnaires were analyzed using factor analysis and cluster analysis to determine the groupings of lifestyles and information searching. Chi-square test is applied against the hypotheses of this study. We find out in the study that: 1. There are significant differences between lifestyle groups on evaluation, chan-nel, and amount of purchasing, but not on motivation and time. 2. There are significant differences between information searching groups on mo-tivation, evaluation, channel, and amount of purchasing, but not on ‘time’. 3. Subjects in each lifestyle groups are distributed to each information searching groups unevenly.

The word Anthropocene has been used in academia in many cases in the last decade. Geologists and stratigraphers believe that man's influence intervents so much with nature that they propose to call by the term a whole new geological era. This would have far-reaching consequences for (social) science in terms of interdisciplinarity. Due to the topicality of the theme, the diploma thesis aims to monitor the intersection of the term Anthropocene using the conceptual theory of Reinhart Koselleck, and thus find out whether and how the word spreads to public sphere. The first theoretical part presents the sources, maps the reflection of the term in the literature of social sciences and puts the work into a theoretical and methodological framework from the perspective of the history of concepts. It introduces Koselleck's theory of transition phases and explanes its application to the research field using modified criteria. The methodological character of the work is a comparative case study, heuristically grasped by content (textual) analysis of a media text. The second practical part observes texts from two selected databases (Czech and British) and presents the results in order to find out the meanings the contexts around the term Anthropocene.

My theses called Divisibility at second grade - textbooks and knowledge of the pupils is devoted to different aspects of schooling of this topic at elementary schools. This work is divided into three chapters. Whilst the first chapter is dedicated to the theory, the subject of two other chapters are two different researches conducted under the divisibility theme. Theoretical resources common to both parts of the research can be found in the first chapter. Among the topics mentioned in this chapter are for example the differences between formal and informal knowledge, constructivist and transmissive way of teaching or the process of solving word problems. The essence of my first research are the textbooks for elementary school concerned with the divisibility theme. Except the part devoted to a textbooks search (all the textbooks approved by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports which deal with divisibility), this chapter also contains the propaedeutics of divisibility and interviews with teachers, in which I have tried to cover the most important moments in the schooling of divisibility. Second part of my research is focused on checking of the pupils' knowledge of divisibility with a special emphasis on formal and informal knowledge. I have used the test to this purpose, which was...

Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923), British Modernist writer whose search for authentic selves in the lives of the characters in her short stories, is reflected in her innovative style of writing in which she examines the interior consciousness of their minds.
Mansfield questions the inauthentic lives of the characters, revealing that the roles they play are socially imposed forcing them to hide their true selves behind masks.
The stories which have been chosen for this study focus on women characters (and men also) who grapple with societal prescriptions for accepted actions, and are rendered mute as a result. The women characters include all age groups and social classes. Some are young and impressionable (The Tiredness of Rosabel, The Little Governess and The Garden Party), others are married and older (Bliss, Prelude and Frau Brechenmacher attends a wedding ), while there are also middle-aged women in Miss Brill and The Life of Ma Parker.English Studies
